2012-06-07x86, efi stub: Add .reloc section back into imageJordan Justen
Some UEFI firmware will not load a .efi with a .reloc section with a size of 0. Therefore, we create a .efi image with 4 main areas and 3 sections. 1. PE/COFF file header 2. .setup section (covers all setup code following the first sector) 3. .reloc section (contains 1 dummy reloc entry, created in build.c) 4. .text section (covers the remaining kernel image) To make room for the new .setup section data, the header bugger_off_msg had to be shortened.

2012-06-06x86/ioapic: Fix NULL pointer dereference on CPU hotplug after disabling irqsTomoki Sekiyama
In current Linux, percpu variable `vector_irq' is not cleared on offlined cpus while disabling devices' irqs. If the cpu that has the disabled irqs in vector_irq is hotplugged, __setup_vector_irq() hits invalid irq vector and may crash. This bug can be reproduced as following; # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online # modprobe -r some_driver_using_interrupts # vector_irq@cpu7 uncleared # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online # kernel may crash This patch fixes this bug by clearing vector_irq in __clear_irq_vector() even if the cpu is offlined.

So disabling the local irq before stop_other_cpu() can fix this problem (tested 25 times reboot ok), and it is fine as there should be nobody caring the timer interrupt in such reboot stage. The latest 3.4 kernel slightly changes this behavior by sending REBOOT_VECTOR first and only send NMI_VECTOR if the REBOOT_VCTOR fails, and this patch is still needed to prevent the problem.

2012-06-06x86/numa: Set numa_nodes_parsed at acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init()Yasuaki Ishimatsu
When hot-adding a CPU, the system outputs following messages since node_to_cpumask_map[2] was not allocated memory. Booting Node 2 Processor 32 APIC 0xc0 node_to_cpumask_map[2] NULL Pid: 0, comm: swapper/32 Tainted: G A 3.3.5-acd #21 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81048845>] debug_cpumask_set_cpu+0x155/0x160 [<ffffffff8105e28a>] ? add_timer_on+0xaa/0x120 [<ffffffff8150665f>] numa_add_cpu+0x1e/0x22 [<ffffffff815020bb>] identify_cpu+0x1df/0x1e4 [<ffffffff815020d6>] identify_econdary_cpu+0x16/0x1d [<ffffffff81504614>] smp_store_cpu_info+0x3c/0x3e [<ffffffff81505263>] smp_callin+0x139/0x1be [<ffffffff815052fb>] start_secondary+0x13/0xeb The reason is that the bit of node 2 was not set at numa_nodes_parsed. numa_nodes_parsed is set by only acpi_numa_processor_affinity_init / acpi_numa_x2apic_affinity_init. Thus even if hot-added memory which is same PXM as hot-added CPU is written in ACPI SRAT Table, if the hot-added CPU is not written in ACPI SRAT table, numa_nodes_parsed is not set. But according to ACPI Spec Rev 5.0, it says about ACPI SRAT table as follows: This optional table provides information that allows OSPM to associate processors and memory ranges, including ranges of memory provided by hot-added memory devices, with system localities / proximity domains and clock domains. It means that ACPI SRAT table only provides information for CPUs present at boot time and for memory including hot-added memory. So hot-added memory is written in ACPI SRAT table, but hot-added CPU is not written in it. Thus numa_nodes_parsed should be set by not only acpi_numa_processor_affinity_init / acpi_numa_x2apic_affinity_init but also acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init for the case. Additionally, if system has cpuless memory node, acpi_numa_processor_affinity_init / acpi_numa_x2apic_affinity_init cannot set numa_nodes_parseds since these functions cannot find cpu description for the node. In this case, numa_nodes_parsed needs to be set by acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init.

Al didn't notice, and made both of them be the unsigned short.

2012-06-01x86, x32, ptrace: Remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL for x32H.J. Lu
When I added x32 ptrace to 3.4 kernel, I also include PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL support for x32 GDB For ARCH_GET_FS/GS, it takes a pointer to int64. But at user level, ARCH_GET_FS/GS takes a pointer to int32. So I have to add x32 ptrace to glibc to handle it with a temporary int64 passed to kernel and copy it back to GDB as int32. Roland suggested that PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL is obsolete and x32 GDB should use fs_base and gs_base fields of user_regs_struct instead. Accordingly, remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL completely from the x32 code to avoid possible memory overrun when pointer to int32 is passed to kernel.

2012-06-01x86: get rid of calling do_notify_resume() when returning to kernel modeAl Viro
If we end up calling do_notify_resume() with !user_mode(refs), it does nothing (do_signal() explicitly bails out and we can't get there with TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in such situations). Then we jump to resume_userspace_sig, which rechecks the same thing and bails out to resume_kernel, thus breaking the loop. It's easier and cheaper to check *before* calling do_notify_resume() and bail out to resume_kernel immediately. And kill the check in do_signal()... Note that on amd64 we can't get there with !user_mode() at all - asm glue takes care of that.

2012-06-01x86, efi: Add EFI boot stub documentationMatt Fleming
Since we can't expect every user to read the EFI boot stub code it seems prudent to have a couple of paragraphs explaining what it is and how it works. The "initrd=" option in particular is tricky because it only understands absolute EFI-style paths (backslashes as directory separators), and until now this hasn't been documented anywhere.

2012-05-31ftrace/x86: Do not change stacks in DEBUG when calling lockdepSteven Rostedt
When both DYNAMIC_FTRACE and LOCKDEP are set, the TRACE_IRQS_ON/OFF will call into the lockdep code. The lockdep code can call lots of functions that may be traced by ftrace. When ftrace is updating its code and hits a breakpoint, the breakpoint handler will call into lockdep. If lockdep happens to call a function that also has a breakpoint attached, it will jump back into the breakpoint handler resetting the stack to the debug stack and corrupt the contents currently on that stack. The 'do_sym' call that calls do_int3() is protected by modifying the IST table to point to a different location if another breakpoint is hit. But the TRACE_IRQS_OFF/ON are outside that protection, and if a breakpoint is hit from those, the stack will get corrupted, and the kernel will crash: [ 1013.243754] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000002 [ 1013.272665] IP: [<ffff880145cc0000>] 0xffff880145cbffff [ 1013.285186] PGD 1401b2067 PUD 14324c067 PMD 0 [ 1013.298832] Oops: 0010 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 1013.310600] CPU 2 [ 1013.317904] Modules linked in: ip6t_REJECT nf_conntrack_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv6 xt_state nf_conntrack ip6table_filter ip6_tables crc32c_intel ghash_clmulni_intel microcode usb_debug serio_raw pcspkr iTCO_wdt i2c_i801 iTCO_vendor_support e1000e nfsd nfs_acl auth_rpcgss lockd sunrpc i915 video i2c_algo_bit drm_kms_helper drm i2c_core [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] [ 1013.401848] [ 1013.407399] Pid: 112, comm: kworker/2:1 Not tainted 3.4.0+ #30 [ 1013.437943] RIP: 8eb8:[<ffff88014630a000>] [<ffff88014630a000>] 0xffff880146309fff [ 1013.459871] RSP: ffffffff8165e919:ffff88014780f408 EFLAGS: 00010046 [ 1013.477909] RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffffffff81104020 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 1013.499458] RDX: ffff880148008ea8 RSI: ffffffff8131ef40 RDI: ffffffff82203b20 [ 1013.521612] RBP: ffffffff81005751 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 1013.543121] R10: ffffffff82cdc318 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff880145cc0000 [ 1013.564614] R13: ffff880148008eb8 R14: 0000000000000002 R15: ffff88014780cb40 [ 1013.586108] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff880148000000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 1013.609458] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b [ 1013.627420] CR2: 0000000000000002 CR3: 0000000141f10000 CR4: 00000000001407e0 [ 1013.649051] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 1013.670724] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 1013.692376] Process kworker/2:1 (pid: 112, threadinfo ffff88013fe0e000, task ffff88014020a6a0) [ 1013.717028] Stack: [ 1013.724131] ffff88014780f570 ffff880145cc0000 0000400000004000 0000000000000000 [ 1013.745918] cccccccccccccccc ffff88014780cca8 ffffffff811072bb ffffffff81651627 [ 1013.767870] ffffffff8118f8a7 ffffffff811072bb ffffffff81f2b6c5 ffffffff81f11bdb [ 1013.790021] Call Trace: [ 1013.800701] Code: 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a <e7> d7 64 81 ff ff ff ff 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 65 d9 64 81 ff [ 1013.861443] RIP [<ffff88014630a000>] 0xffff880146309fff [ 1013.884466] RSP <ffff88014780f408> [ 1013.901507] CR2: 0000000000000002 The solution was to reuse the NMI functions that change the IDT table to make the debug stack keep its current stack (in kernel mode) when hitting a breakpoint: call debug_stack_set_zero TRACE_IRQS_ON call debug_stack_reset If the TRACE_IRQS_ON happens to hit a breakpoint then it will keep the current stack and not crash the box.

2012-05-31x86: Allow nesting of the debug stack IDT settingSteven Rostedt
When the NMI handler runs, it checks if it preempted a debug handler and if that handler is using the debug stack. If it is, it changes the IDT table not to update the stack, otherwise it will reset the debug stack and corrupt the debug handler it preempted. Now that ftrace uses breakpoints to change functions from nops to callers, many more places may hit a breakpoint. Unfortunately this includes some of the calls that lockdep performs. Which causes issues with the debug stack. It too needs to change the debug stack before tracing (if called from the debug handler). Allow the debug_stack_set_zero() and debug_stack_reset() to be nested so that the debug handlers can take advantage of them too. [ Used this_cpu_*() over __get_cpu_var() as suggested by H. Peter Anvin ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-05-31x86: Reset the debug_stack update counterSteven Rostedt
When an NMI goes off and it sees that it preempted the debug stack, to keep the debug stack safe, it changes the IDT to point to one that does not modify the stack on breakpoint (to allow breakpoints in NMIs). But the variable that gets set to know to undo it on exit never gets cleared on exit. Thus every NMI will reset it on exit the first time it is done even if it does not need to be reset. [ Added H. Peter Anvin's suggestion to use this_cpu_read/write ] Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v3.3 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-05-31ftrace: Use breakpoint method to update ftrace callerSteven Rostedt
On boot up and module load, it is fine to modify the code directly, without the use of breakpoints. This is because boot up modification is done before SMP is initialized, thus the modification is serial, and module load is done before the module executes. But after that we must use a SMP safe method to modify running code. Otherwise, if we are running the function tracer and update its function (by starting off the stack tracer, or perf tracing) the change of the function called by the ftrace trampoline is done directly. If this is being executed on another CPU, that CPU may take a GPF and crash the kernel. The breakpoint method is used to change the nops at all the functions, but the change of the ftrace callback handler itself was still using a direct modification. If tracing was enabled and the function callback was changed then another CPU could fault if it was currently calling the original callback. This modification must use the breakpoint method too. Note, the direct method is still used for boot up and module load. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-05-31ftrace: Synchronize variable setting with breakpointsSteven Rostedt
When the function tracer starts modifying the code via breakpoints it sets a variable (modifying_ftrace_code) to inform the breakpoint handler to call the ftrace int3 code. But there's no synchronization between setting this code and the handler, thus it is possible for the handler to be called on another CPU before it sees the variable. This will cause a kernel crash as the int3 handler will not know what to do with it. I originally added smp_mb()'s to force the visibility of the variable but H. Peter Anvin suggested that I just make it atomic. [ Added comments as suggested by Peter Zijlstra ] Suggested-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
